My daughter needs DOS based email. She is in college in Missouri
and we (her parents) live in California. We need to email each other. I 
have Earthlink email. 
	My daughter in Missouri has: 
1. A laptop computer with:  60 meg hard drive with 24 megs unused.
                            630 basic memory
                            1024 RAM
                            DOS 6.0
The question: Do you have an email program (software) that she can use
to communicate with us here in California by email? Please send
information.
Help and thank you,
Frank Yegge

  There are Free-Nets in California. For a list of them, visit:

http://www.scn.org/other.freenets.html

  These Free-Nets are typically terminal-based, meaning that you can
connect to them from a DOS machine with a terminal program (e.g. Telix
for DOS).

  Hope this helps.

Frank,

Most times colleges and universities will have there own email systems
for their campus, and also have the capability to send email to the
Internet using the same facilities. She should inquire if she will be
receiving an email account, and see if she can keep the same one for
her duration at the school.
